i agree with everyone that Resonant Blue is an amazing song...i would even go as far as to say that it's their best single since Shabondama, almost five years ago...it easily beats Egao YES NUDE for me. Egao YES NUDE was amazing, but Resonant Blue is so much better....i CANNOT wait for this single....i wasnt this excited for Dschinghis Khan

[jeffycue]

^ true that! it beats every single.. ahahaha. i dont know why but am so addicted to it.

it already drives me crazy. LoL.

BTW! can someone clearly explain this Koha Record > She was the first artist to achieve the 2.0 ratio in Hello!Project in years. (The 2.0 ratio is First Week sales versus Total sales. In other words, she was able to double her first week sales.)

is that the current first week sales versus the previous total sales? damn.. am so dumb with these ratio things.

No lol (don't worry we all need someone to explain sometimes) Basically it meant that the total sales for any one of her singles (excluding the first week), was equal to or greater than the first week. It's considered really good to be able to get a 2.0 ratio or higher because it means you're a strong/consistent seller.

Think of it this way... if you take total sales and divide it by the first week sales and get 50% or lower, that means that the artist has managed to get a 2.0 ratio or higher. The less the first week sales make up of the total sales, the higher the ratio. (omg I'm horrible at explaining math like things xD)

Anyways <3 Resonant Blue.

[truehappiness]

Basically she sold like 25k first week or something and then went on to sell 50k+; which is 2.0 times 25k.

I'm addicted to Resonant Blue right now. So much, that I'd actually buy the single if I weren't so broke. I'll wait for an album though since I've liked every single since the last one.

[ladytaboo]

Resonant Blue is great but compared other singles released since Sexy 8 Beat, I liked Onna Ni Sachi Are and Kanashimi Twilight more. It's better than Mikan though.

Didn't it sell 70k? I wonder why... did it have some big tie-in, or was it just good?

Edit; Didn't Kira Pika already do that? :s

[drewbilation]

^ all of Koharu's singles are used in the anime Kirarin Revolution, which she also stars in.

oh ok... so it really meant times two. damn... 2.0 ratio is very confusion. they should have said it as 2:1. LoL.

I thought Mikan was good... Ahaha. To rank it all...

1) Onna ni Sachi Are
2) Mikan
3) Kanashimi Twilight
4) Resonant Blue

I thought OnSA was really cool. Though Takahashi seemed a little over-presented, it's a pretty strong song.

Mikan reminded me of their older days, when the lyrics were so hopeful and cute. I liked the PV since it sowed baby pictures, too.

KT had Yossie and Miki. More needed? Ahaha. I thought the singing was exceptional too.

RB just doesn't catch me. The actual music does not match the vocals well at all. Takahashi, may be. But Tanaka and Kusumi DO NOT match. I think Kusumi sounds EXTRA irritating in this song (especially her "help me" parts)... This song needs stronger/deeper voices to match the harder beat, such as Niigaki and Jun Jun. I'll be honest, not one of my favorites. The concept is something different, though. I'll give it that. Ahaha.
